Genealogy - Building Your Family Tree

Building your family tree is great, in theory. But how do you fill in the missing branches when you don’t have all the information? Look no further than Geni, a free genealogy tool  that works by tapping the collective wisdom of your relatives.
To begin, simply add information about yourself and at least one of your parents. (There’s space for photos, birthdays and a myriad of other custom fields).


Geni enables families to connect, share, and preserve their lives.


Users can build their family tree through our fun simple interface. Relatives who are added to the tree can join Geni and add other relatives. This makes it easy to grow your tree.

Everyone in the tree has a profile which shows more about them and enables other family members to stay in touch with them. Families can work together to build profiles for common ancestors.

Family members can also share photos, videos, events, discussions, and more. A family timeline shows the history of everyone in the family.

Geni is private. Only the people in your family tree can log in to your tree and your profile. Geni will not share your personal information with third parties. We will not sell your email address or spam you. Users control which communications they would like to receive from us.

Geni was founded by former executives and early employees of PayPal, eGroups, eBay, and Tribe, and is backed by venture capital firms Founders Fund and Charles River Ventures.

Geni is private and secure, only the people in your family can see your family tree. Start building your family tree. Click here... did I mention, it's FREE?
